Typography Audit

Verify type scale, weights, and line lengths are consistent across the product.

Check

Audit confirms: (1) only defined scale sizes in use (no one-off px values), (2) maximum 2 font weights used (regular + bold), (3) body text line-height ≥ 1.5, (4) no line longer than 680px for body text, (5) no pure black (#000) text — use near-black, (6) no light grey text failing 4.5:1 contrast on white.

Why This Matters

Type inconsistency is the most common "polished vs. unpolished" differentiator. Scale drift — one-off sizes creeping in — compounds silently until the hierarchy becomes meaningless. A quarterly audit catches drift before it hardens.

How to Verify

Open DevTools and inspect computed font-size on 10 random text elements. Every value must be in the scale. Check computed line-height on body text — must be ≥ 1.5× font-size.
